STOVE-QOVER.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making ypart of the same.

To all whom it 'may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL D. VosE, of the city and county of MilwaukeefandlState of Viseonsin, have invented a new and improved Method of Oonstructing Stove-Covers; and I dohereby declare the following is a fulland exact description of the same, reference being had to the. accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 is a plan of the top of the cover.

Figure 2 'is a vertical section of the cover through the lineA A, in g. l.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I proceed to describe it. .I

The cover is made in two pieces.

The plate B is a cast-iron ring, on the inside edge of which is a recess, to receive a smaller round plate of cast-iron, plate Holes, to correspond, are cast in each plate, and two rivets, R, are used to join them together.

- If covers of an unusual size are required, the use of three or more pieces may be of advantage.

[hejoining may be eiected by rivets, vor by projecting Wedges dropped through slots, and binding under the iiange or in other ways.

The usefulness of. this method is the security ob-v tained against wa lping and cracking; also, in a reduction of the weighty and cost.

.The plate O is too smallvto' have an unequal expansion nortodroop. The plate B, being in the form of a narrow ring, with edges strengthened on the in- .,side and outside, the ring expands and contracts always lled up the smallestring. e I ain also aware that plates -of cast-iron, of' large surface, have been divided and subdivided in various ways toovercome unequal expansion, but not in this manner.

What I claim as my invention, and desire tb`s`curef'w.

The method of constructing a cover for stoves, by

making the outer part B in the form of a ring, and the inner part O in the forni of' a separate circular plate, capable of expanding and contracting by itself, these parts being riveted or connected so as to form, when finished, a portable cover, as herein described.
